Yes, M1
and M2 carbine receivers are different, The M1 says "M1" and the M2 says "M2". That is the only difference, except the M2 is a machine gun and 'once a machine gun, always a machine gun'....

M2 is the full auto variant of the M1
carbine. They are legal to own, but there is a process for obtaining one. About 6k will get you one. All the parts are just parts and not regulated.

Yes , it's legal .
You need the seventh part ( an M2 hammer ) to make it an unregistered full auto kit. Six out of seven , a collection of parts. Seven out of seven , jail time if not papered. Any reciever marked M2 , or an over stamped M2 , or one in that serial number range of those with the number removed , are treated as full autos no matter if they have the FA parts or not. Ie , must be papered. FA triggerguards , slides, stocks , sears and round bolts are not kit parts and are not considered.

Chris, you are right but I still wouldn't touch that kit. If that doesn't send up a red flag nothing will. Just ain't worth it.

He asked if it was legal...
and it is what it is. Now as being wise , well I guess that depends on if one M2 hammer is in his stockpile or not. Note that I'm refering to the federal level , state and local could have problems with this , so people need to know the legal aspects of thier own area.
